Da Kath & Kim Code

A full length film, starring riley and turner as the fun mother daughter team kim and kath. This one was made while their tv series was still going. It's christmas time, and everyone is getting ready. Sharon is internet dating. Even kim and kath's alter egos, trude and prue make an appearance. And they talk about the tall poppy syndrome, which was a real thing in australia at the time. We have the same thing in the u.s., but i don't think they call it that. Some funny bits where brett keeps sending naughty texts to the wrong person. And the mall santa gets naughty in this one! It's good! Directed by ted emery, who also directed a bunch of the series episodes. There's also a follow up film, kath and kimderella in 2012.

After a year's hiatus Kath and Kim are back! Albeit in just a short made-for-TV movie and not a fully blown season, but I'll take what I can get.

It's great to see the show hasn't lost it's spark and the ninety minutes is full of classic Kath and Kim moments and comedy. I loved the Carols by Candlelight routine and Sharon's outburst in the wedding dress.

I felt the whole Da Vinci Code-inspired sub plot was unnecessary and probably just included to give Barry Humphries some screen time. But I suppose it gave Riley and Turner a good excuse to come out with a movie-length outing for the folks of Fountain Lake.

Not to be missed by any Kath and Kim fan. It definitely leaves me craving the new series.

Look, Kath and Kim is a classic and Australian icon of TV. But this film tries too hard to be something higher than it is...a longer episode of Kath and Kim with some very corny jokes and acting. It'll still provide funny moments along the way, but you won't come away thinking you've watched anything groundbreaking.

What can I say? Kath and Kim are Aussie royalty. This movie is a classic and watching it years later, as an adult, I find it even funnier.

Why would Brett be working retail on Christmas Day?
